The CCHS Bulldogs started strong versus their conference opponent from Culbertson last Friday night at Rowley Field. On Blue's first possession, they chewed almost seven minutes off the clock on their way to the end zone. Late in the second quarter, the Dogs held a 20-13 lead on the Cowboys. After a Cowboy turnover, Blue had a goal-to-go opportunity and a chance to go up two scores before the half when a fumble on the quarterback to center exchange gave the ball back to...
